Entry requirements

You'll complete a skills assessment to determine the level of the course at which you need to begin.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with whole numbers, including reading, writing, and ordering them.
  • You'll add, subtract, multiply, and divide using straightforward methods.
  • You'll recognise and use simple fractions and percentages in everyday contexts.
  • You'll handle money, including calculating costs and giving change.
  • You'll read and interpret simple charts, tables, and graphs.
  • You'll measure length, weight, capacity, and time using common units.
  • You'll solve practical maths problems drawn from everyday life.

How you will learn

You'll learn in a classroom at Learn Telford, with a tutor guiding sessions. Assessment is through a written test set by City and Guilds. You'll work through tasks and practice questions during class to prepare. The skills assessment at the start helps place you at the right level so you're not covering ground you've already mastered.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Learn Telford will confirm anything else you need before you start.
